Our Ultra Performance line of plant-based protein solutions has been named the Best Plant-Based Sustainability winner during the 2022 World Plant-Based Awards. This better tasting, more sustainable product line provides great versatility in a variety of applications.
Ultra-performance proteins start with pulses, which are rich in protein, fiber and many micronutrients. Our proprietary physical process yields a clean flavor profile — while also keeping the macro- and micronutrient content so important to label claims.
Ultra-performance proteins are created with a physical process that does not use chemicals or additives. Pulses are naturally non-GMO, gluten free and do not require allergen labeling. Plus, the pulses are responsibly farmed and sourced in North America, boosting sustainability and keeping supply chains constant for advantages everyone can feel good about.
